[QUOTE="stangfish, post: 780211, member: 14534"] I think I read one post that actually addressed your question. The answer is yes, you can do it and without cutting the remington threads off. Turn the area behind the lug down to 1.055 for a small shank nut and to 1.120 for the large shank(prefered?) and cut the 20tpi threads. I use wires to measure pitch diameter to get the threads very close like in class 3 threads but that is for savage action to barrel fit. Cutting the threads class two or looser is probably OK for just the nut. From there setting the headspace is simple as screwing the barrel in or out. The only thing you need to watch out for is for the tendancy of the barrel to turn while you are securing the nut. Well... and the slack in the remington threads. This can be done for for any take off barrel and no other machine work required to make it fit and headspace. I think it would even be feezable to use a jam nut or a half dog set screw with the proper pocket machined to maintain headspace for quick installs and removals. I must add that if you wanted to rechamber you could do it like above or lop of the threads like others have said. If you do so often the diameter of the barrel reduces rapidly and may completely change the harmonics(accuracy) possibly even becoming slightly more dangerous if using full power loads. [/QUOTE]
